Korra woke up the next morning with Mako's strong arms wrapped around her. She smiled and snuggled closer until she remembered what happened last night.
Where had he gone?
She will just ask him when he wakes up. She tried falling back asleep, but sleep never came. She looked at the clock 6:45. They didn't have to leave for college for another three hours... Oh well. He was a jerk, so he is going to wake up now.
"Mako." Korra said softly.
He mumbled something and then held her tighter. She rolled her eyes.
"Makoooo. Wake up!" She said a bit louder.
His eyes cracked open and he smiled when he saw her, "Hey babe."
"Don't you 'hey babe me'. Where the hell did you go last night?" Korra asked, sitting up.
He sat up as well and looked at her apologetically. "I went to my uncles. I... I just needed to clear my head, and I needed some answers."
She nodded, "And did you get answers?"
He looked down at her and smiled warmly, "I did. And I'm sorry I was a jerk yesterday, I just don't like accepting help..."
She hugged him, "It's okay, accepting help isn't a sign of weakness, you know."
"And, if you don't mind, I think I will accept your help. But, where will you get the money?" He asked kissing her temple.
"I'll get a job on campus. And I'll tell you what, I will pay half so that you don't feel completely helpless." She said with a smirk.
"Deal." He said sealing it with a kiss.
When they pulled apart, Korra looked at her bedside table and saw the shoe box. "What's that?"
He looked over and picked it up, placing it in his lap. "I found it last night. It's my box full of all our pictures."
She smiled and opened it up, "Jeez Mako! How many pictures of us together do you have?" She asked laughing. The box was overflowing with pictures.
He rubbed the back of his neck nervously, "I like memories."
She looked through them and smiled at each one warmly, "I remember all of these."
"So do I." Mako said picking on up then he laughed. "Remember this one? God, what was I thinking?"
Korra looked at it and laughed, "Yes I remember this one, you thought wearing my clothes would be funny."
He shrugged, "I did look good."
She rolled her eyes and kissed him, "You always look good."
"That may be true, but never as good as you." He whispered.
She looked back down at the box and saw the picture of them sleeping in his bed, "I don't remember taking this one..." She said picking it up.
"I think Toza took it one night. It's probably my favorite, I never noticed it before last night." Mako said taking it from her hands.
"We look so peaceful, you know, in your arms I feel safe." She added, looking at the sense of comfort in the picture evident on her face.
He kissed the top of her head and then placed the picture back in the box, taking out another.
"We took this one when we first started dating. I took you out to a golf place." He said matter of factly.
She laughed, "I know, I remember swinging it too far back and hitting you in the balls."
"Yeah, you weren't the best golfer..." He said, shivering when he recalled the feeling.
She took out another one and smiled. It was a picture of them in the park, sharing an ice cream cone. Mako had ice cream all over his face and Korra had a dot of it on her nose.
Mako looked at it and grinned, "That was over the summer."
She nodded.
They spent the rest of the morning looking through the shoe box, recalling memories. Korra's favorites were the ones of Mako shirtless, and the ones of them kissing.
They didn't even hear when someone knocked on the door, since there was no answer, they walked in. It was Jace.
"Kor, Mako. We've got to get ready to go back to scho- Hey. What's that?" He asked walking into the room, pointing at the box.
"Box of memories." Korra said.
"Alright, well put it away. You've got 20 minutes." He said walking out of the room.
"Oh, and Mako! Put on a shirt." He called from down the hall.
Mako blushed and looked down at his bare chest, "Oops."
Korra giggled and kissed him again before getting ready.
Once they got back at college, Korra went to her dorm to unpack.
"Ugh, why do we have to be back?!" She groaned, jumping on her bed.
Ikola and Asami laughed as Jace and Bolin lugged there bags back in. "If you want to graduate..." Ikola said taking her bag from a worn out Jace.
He sat down on her bed, breathing heavy. "Jesus babe, what the hell did you have in there?"
"You saw me pack it. It's just my clothes. Now... wheres my make up bag?" She asked looking around.
"Somewhere on the second floor staircase." Jace said, closing his eyes.
"Jace!" She whined.
"Yes sweetie?" He asked.
"Will you please go get it? For me?" She asked batting her eye lashes at him.
"Do I have to?" He asked sitting up.
She walked up to him and whispered in his ear, "If you want to get lucky tonight."
He shot off of the bed and ran to go get it for her. Ikola giggled and Asami and Korra rolled there eyes.
"Why are you bossing my brother around like that?" Korra asked.
Ikola smiled, "Because I love him."
"Okay, that makes no sense." Korra said.
"Love doesn't make sense in general." Ikola said sitting on the bed.
The next day, Mako picked Korra after classes and took her to dinner.
"So, where we goin?" She asked, looping her arm through his.
"Just a little cafe downtown. It's got some pretty good food." He said.
Mako drove there, in his car that had been re-painted thanks to Korra's dad. Who told him to pay him back whenever he could.
"You know your dad is really nice." Mako said.
Korra nodded, "He really is, I'm glad he warmed up to you. Never thought that day would come..."
"Yeah, but he's still a very protective dad. But that's to be expected, your a gorgeous teenager and I'm a teenage boy with raging hormones. Or at least that's what your dad said." Mako said.
"Oh god. Did my dad... have 'The Talk' with you?!" Korra asked.
Mako nodded, "Yeah, awkward."
Korra buried her face in her hands. "Oh. My. God."
Mako chuckled, "It's okay, I took it as him being a fatherly figure to me. Well, that and being a protective father of you."
They got to the place and had a fantastic, cheap, dinner. The bill was less than 25$ and they each got a full meal. Mako took Korra back to her dorm, seeing that everyone else was gone.
"Hmm, probably at my dorm room." Mako said looking around. "Man, we ate early... It's only 6:30."
"Yeah. I'm going to be hungry soon. Good thing we have left overs!" Korra said opening the mini fridge. She took out a salad from before the month break.
"Korra. Don't eat that! That's from before break! That's disgusting!" Mako said taking it from her hands and throwing it away.
She pouted and went over to her desk, Mako sitting on the bed. Mako looked at Korra who was looking through her desk for a blank sheet of paper. She was so hot. He was so lucky to have her.
Korra saw him staring and smirked, "You having fun there?"
He blushed and nodded, "You're just really hot Korra." He said raking his eyes over her body.
She walked over to him and sat on his lap leaning in close and kissing him. Mako smirked and deepening the kiss. laying down on the bed, taking Korra with him. He had his arms wrapped around her waist, he moved to her neck, leaving a trail of hickeys. Korra moaned and Mako could feel his little friend getting hard, she started to grind against him and then he moaned.
She ripped off his shirt, removing her lips from his to look at him and ran her hands up and down his abs, he shivered at her touch. He took off her shirt and then his lips went back to hers. Mako started to remove her bra and Korra stopped him. She looked in his eyes, which were lustful and dark.
"Mako..." She whispered.
His eyes widened and he let go, "Oh shit, Kor I'm sorry."
She looked down, "Kor, I'm really sorry." He said, trying to look her in the eyes. When she didn't lift her head up and he lifted her chin up.
His expression turned to worry and concern when he saw tears falling. "Korra, what's wrong? Are you okay?"
She nodded, "I... I just hate making you wait..."
He smiled sympathetically, "I'm fine. I can wait for you."
She shook her head, "But it's not fair to you, nor is it to me."
Mako gave her a confused expression. "What do you mean? Not fair to you?"
She looked at him and more tears were streaming down her face, Mako quickly wiped them away with his thumb. "I want this just as much as you do, I... I'm just afraid. I can't get the memories out of my head from Tahno. Every time I'm with you, images of him get into my head. It's all I can do not to scream out..."
He frowned and moved a strand of her hair behind her ear, "I thought you were going to leave that behind you."
"I've tried Mako! I've tried time and time again! But I can't! I just can't..." She sobbed.
Mako pulled her to his chest for a hug and kissed the top of her head, "Shhhh, Korra it's okay. You know I'd never ever hurt you."
"I know, I know." She said, pulling away slightly to look at him. "I'm sorry..."
"You have nothing to be sorry for! None of this is your fault, you're perfectly fine. I can wait for you, I'll wait as long as you need me too." He said with a small smile.
"But I don't want to wait. I want to be with you, I love you." She said.
He smiled, "Are you sure you're ready?"
She took a deep, shaky, breath. "I think I am."
Mako's smile grew, "It'll be okay."
She nodded, "I believe you, and I trust you."
They stripped of the rest of there clothing...
This idea is from MakorraLove7
Ikola, Asami, Bolin, and Jace were all going to the movies and they decided to invite Mako and Korra.
"Okay, I'll go ask them." Ikola said walking to there dorm. She went up to the door and knocked, she stopped when she heard them...
"Oh... my... god." She breathed. She quickly walked away from the door with a smile on her face.
'It's about time...' She thought.
"Hey! Where's my sis and future brother in law?" Jace asked.
"They... they umm... They won't be coming. Because well..." Ikola trailed off and gave them all the look.
"WHAT?! Do you seriously mean... that... that they. WHAT THE HELL! She's not old enough!" Jace yelled running towards her dorm. His little sister was not doing that. Nope.
Ikola stopped him before he was able to open the door by placing a hand on his chest. "Sweetie, she's no younger than I am."
"I know but... But, she's my sister! And after what happened with Tahno..." He said looking desperately at the door.
"I know honey. But she needs this because of what happened with Tahno. She needs a new experience, she needs to real, loving, heartfelt, experience."
"But-" Jace started but Ikola stopped him.
"No buts. Korra's moved on, so should you." Ikola said.
TIME SKIP TO THE NEXT DAY
The girls were all in their dorm, sitting in beanbags on the floor doing homework.
"So Korra." Asami starts, sharing a look with Ikola.
Korra looked up, "Hmm?"
They smiled. "How's Mako?"
"He's fine." She said skeptically.
"Mmmhmm... And how's y'all's relationship?" Ikola asked.
"Good..." Korra said looking at them both through narrowed eyes.
Asami and Ikola shared a look again.
"Oh just get it out already!" Korra exclaimed.
"Why didn't you tell us you two had sex?!" Asami and Ikola asked in unison.
Korra's eyes widened, "W-what?! What makes you think that?!"
"Oh come on Korra! We know." Asami said with a smirk.
"Did Mako tell you? Oh he is so dead!" Korra said getting up.
"No! He didn't tell us! I was going to ask you two to come to the movies, but I kinda... I kinda heard you two. In action." Ikola said awkwardly.
Korra buried her face in her hands, "Oh god. That's so embarrassing."
"Tell us!" Asami cheered, clapping her hands.
"Um. Let me think about that. No." Korra said going back to her books.
"Korra! Come on! How was he?" Ikola asked, closing Korra's books and taking them from her.
"Hey! I was reading those!" Korra said trying to get them back.
"You don't get these back until you talk." Ikola said throwing them over her shoulder.
"Ugh, fine. What do you want to know?" Korra asked. 'This is going to be weird.'
"How was it?" Asami asked.
"What do you mean?" Korra asked.
"Was he good?" Asami asked.
"Uh, yeah. I mean, he was much better than Tahno." Korra said with a small smile.
"How so?" Ikola asked.
"Mako was gentle, and loving. But Tahno was, well I don't really want to talk about that. But Mako was so sweet. He was making sure I was okay the whole time." Korra said with a smile on her face.
"Awwwwww! That is so cute!" Asami and Ikola squealed.
Korra rolled her eyes, "Yes it is, now can I please have my books back?"
Ikola nodded and gave them to her. "Thank you." Korra said going back to work.
Mako was in his dorm with Bo and Jace, who came over to talk football with Bolin.
"So Mako." Jace started.
"Yeah?" Mako asked taking out one of his ear buds.
"Care to explain why you had sex with my sister?" Jace asked walking up to him.
Mako's eyes widened and he started to cough. Jace patted him on the back and Mako stopped.
"H-how did you know that?!" Mako asked sitting up on his bed.
"Ikola heard you." Jace shrugged.
Mako blushed and laid back down, "Ohhhh god. That's embarrassing."
"Now, care to explain WHY YOU HAD SEX WITH MY SISTER?!" Jace asked, loosing his cool.
"Uh yeah. Because we are in love and she needed it to get over Tahno. And because we both wanted it. And it was not sex. I don't call what we did, sex. We made love. There is a huge difference. Sex is what she did with Tahno. Making love is what we did." Mako said.
Jace made a disgusted face, "Whatever it was, I don't like you doing it with my sister!"
Mako looked at Jace, "Dude, I thought you trusted me. You know I'd never hurt her, we both needed it. We both wanted it. I love Korra, and she loves me. We didn't do anything wrong, this doesn't change anything between us. If anything this brought us closer."
Jace gave Mako a stern nod, "That's all I needed to hear. You're off the hook." And then he walked back to Bolin who hadn't been paying attention.
Mako breathed a sigh of relief. That talk had been easier than he thought, he figured Jace would punch him or something like that. He put his ear buds back in and listened to one of his favorite songs, Fall for You by Secondhand Serenade. He had 5 favorite songs, his first one, the one he just mentioned. The second one, Here with me by the Killers. The third one, A Twist in my Story, Secondhand serenade. Fourth one, Love don't die, the Fray. The last one, is a whole playlist full of older songs. Like Tom Sawyer, by Rush. Or Crazy one you, by Heart.
He had a date later on that night with Korra, and he couldn't wait.
Sorry if this one was lame! And for my songfic story, I got a review, from FlameFreeReminders, saying it broke a rule. I don't know how, but whatever! Apparently I'm not allowed to use songs...
Sorry for the inconvenience!
But don't worry! I'm still doing all my other stories!
